1. The word of the teacher. Personality of Alexander Nevsky. Presentation. slide 1.

Prince Alexander was born on May 30, 1220 in the city of Pereslavl-Zalessky, and from 1222 he lived in Gorodishe near Veliky Novgorod, where his father, Grand Duke Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, reigned.

In 1225, Yaroslav made his sons "princely tonsured", after which an experienced voivode, boyar Fyodor Danilovich, began to teach them military affairs. In 1228, together with his elder brother Fyodor, they were “placed” by their father in Novgorod, but on the occasion of unrest, the princes were forced to leave for their father in the same year (according to other sources, in February 1229). In 1230, Grand Duke Yaroslav managed to leave Novgorod again for Fedor and Alexander, but three years later, at the age of fifteen, Fedor died.

In 1234, Alexander's first campaign (under his father's banner) against the Livonian Germans took place.

In 1236 Yaroslav left to reign in Kyiv and Alexander began to rule independently in Novgorod, which was proud of its prince. He acted as a defender of orphans, widows, and was an assistant to the starving.

The prince from his youth honored the priesthood and monasticism, i.e. was a prince from God and obedient to God.

2. Student's story. Activities of Alexander Nevsky as a commander. Presentation. Slides 2-3.

The young prince faced the problem of the Tatars and another closer and more serious danger from the Swedes, Livonians and Lithuania. The struggle against the Livonians and the Swedes was, at the same time, a struggle between the Orthodox East and the Catholic West. In 1237, the disparate forces of the Livonians - the Teutonic Order and the Swordsmen - united against the Russians.

In 1238 to Novgorod lands Mongol hordes approached. With hope in the Wisdom of God, Prince Alexander prayed for protection in the church of St. Sophia, fortified the city and its borders, and the enemy did not invade.

In 1239, the prince married Princess Alexandra of Polotsk. But he did not have a quiet life. The prince began to strengthen the western border of his region along the Shelon River. The following year, the Germans attacked the Pskov region, and the Swedes, prompted by the pope, moved to Novgorod under the leadership of the ruler of the country himself, the royal son-in-law Birger. Confident of victory, Birger sent Alexander a declaration of war, proud and arrogant: "If you can, resist, know that I am already here and will captivate your land." Novgorod was left to itself. Russia, defeated by the Tatars, could not provide him with any support.

The prince then prayed on his knees in the cathedral church of Sophia the Wisdom of God, and turning to the soldiers, he said the words that are still winged: "God is not in power, but in truth."

3. The student performs excerpts from the work of Konstantin Simonov "Battle on the Ice". Presentation. Slides 4-5.

Prince in front of the Russian regiments
He turned the horse around,
With steel-clad hands
Under the clouds angrily poked.
"Let God judge us with the Germans
Without delay here on the ice
We have swords with us, and come what may,
Let's help God's judgment!"

The first onslaught of the Germans was terrible.
In the Russian infantry corner,
Two rows of horse towers
They crashed through.

Like angry lambs in a storm,
Among the German cones
Flashing white shirts
Men's lamb hats.
In washed underwear shirts,
Throwing sheepskin coats on the ground,
They rushed into mortal combat,
Gate wide open.

They are open-eyed
They marched against the Germans with their bare chest,
Cutting fingers to the bone
Bowed spears to the ground.

April 5, 1242 there was a battle on Lake Peipsi. This battle is known as the Battle of the Ice. Before the battle, Prince Alexander ordered his warriors to remove their iron armor. With a cunning maneuver (the enemy was passed through the Russian barrier), the enemy soldiers clad in iron were lured onto the ice. According to the Novgorod chronicle, the Russians drove the Germans across the ice for 7 miles, 400-500 knights fell and up to 50 were taken prisoner; according to the Livonian chronicle, the losses of the order amounted to 20 killed and 6 captured

Discussion of controversial issues in his biography(cooperation with the Horde, struggle for power, pressure on Novgorod).

Dramatization of Alexander Nevsky's trip to the Golden Horde.

Alexander pursued a different policy towards the Tatars. According to one point of view, with the then small number and fragmentation of the Russian population in eastern lands it was impossible, and to think of liberation from their power, and it remained to rely on the generosity of the victors. Other historians believe that the fight against the Tatars could have been successful, but Alexander wanted to use their help to establish his rigid power over the free cities. In any case, Alexander decided to get along with the Tatars, no matter what.

Estimations of personal historians of Alexander Nevsky for our time.

The prince was an Orthodox man and invincible in open battle, on the battlefield the commander had to win the highest victory - over himself, to show the rarest and most difficult virtue: humble himself with boundless humility, drown out the voice of pride and, at the cost of humiliation, protect and preserve the Motherland. He will bow to Batu solely in the interests of his beloved Motherland, and in this the author sees the highest feat of the right-believing Prince Alexander Nevsky. Humility leads to the comprehension of the truth, to the understanding of what needs to be done in this moment for the good of the Motherland. (According to the materials of the book by M. Khitrov "The Holy Right-Believing Grand Duke Alexander Yaroslavovich Nevsky". M., 1991).

Canonical version	The view of historians of the XVIII-XIX centuries	critical version
According to the "canonical" version, Alexander Nevsky played an exceptional role in Russian history. In the XIII century, Russia was attacked from two sides - the Catholic West and the Tatars from the East. Alexander Nevsky showed the talent of a commander and diplomat, making peace with the most powerful (and at the same time more tolerant) enemy - the Tatars - and repelling the German attack, while protecting Orthodoxy from Catholic expansion. This interpretation was officially supported by the authorities both in pre-revolutionary and in Soviet times(a striking example is the talented but historically unreliable film "Alexander Nevsky" by Sergei Eisenstein), as well as the Russian Orthodox Church.	A number of historians do not attach the personality of Alexander Nevsky so of great importance. The leading Russian historians Sergei Solovyov and Vasily Klyuchevsky devoted a minimum of lines to the prince's activities, but at the same time paid due respect to his activities. Sergey Solovyov: “The observance of the Russian land from trouble in the east, the famous feats for faith and land in the west brought Alexander a glorious memory in Russia and made him the most prominent historical figure in ancient history from Monomakh to Donskoy.	The third group of historians, generally agreeing with the "pragmatic" nature of the actions of Alexander Nevsky, believes that objectively he played a negative role in the history of Russia and Russia. This position is held, in particular, by Mikhail Sokolsky, Irina Karatsuba, Igor Kurukin, Nikita Sokoloviev, Igor Yakovenko, Georgy Fedotov, Igor Andreev and others. According to their interpretation, there was no serious threat from the German knights (moreover, the Battle of the Ice was not a major battle ), and the example of Lithuania (to which a number of Russian princes moved with their lands) showed that a successful struggle against the Tatars was quite possible. According to this version, Alexander Nevsky deliberately entered into an alliance with the Tatars in order to use them to strengthen his personal power. He was allegedly impressed by the model of despotic power of the Tatar-Mongol, which made it possible to put free cities under princely control. As a result, the prince contributed to the fact that the European path of development based on commercial and industrial cities with their freedom and civil society was not realized on Russian lands.

Streets, lanes, squares, etc. are named after Alexander Nevsky. Orthodox churches are dedicated to him, he is the heavenly patron of St. Petersburg.

AT ancient Russian literature Main article: The Tale of the Life of Alexander Nevsky

A literary work written in the 13th century and known in many editions.

The last years of the life of Alexander Yaroslavovich, the perpetuation of his memory in Russian history.

In the annalistic legend that has come down to us about the exploits of Alexander Nevsky, it is said that he was "born by God." Winning everywhere, he was not defeated by anyone. The knight, who came from the West to see Nevsky, said that he had traveled through many countries and peoples, but had never seen such a thing “neither in kings, nor in princes of a prince.” Such a review about him was given by the Tatar Khan himself, and Tatar women frightened children with his name.

Initially, Alexander Nevsky was buried in the Nativity Monastery in Vladimir. In 1724, by order of Peter I, the relics of Alexander Nevsky were solemnly transferred to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra in St. Petersburg.

III. Final part.

1. Summing up. Findings.

Historians express both positive and negative assessments of the activities of Alexander Nevsky. Alexander Nevsky played an exceptional role in Russian history, in a dramatic period when Russia was attacked from three sides: the Catholic West, the Mongol-Tatars and Lithuania. Alexander Nevsky, who had not lost a single battle in his entire life, showed the talent of a commander and diplomat, repulsing the German attack and, submitting to the inevitable dominion of the Horde, prevented the devastating campaigns of the Mongol-Tatars against Russia.

1st reader (teacher):
On blue and wet
Chudsky cracked ice
At six thousand seven hundred and fifty
From Creation,
Saturday, April 5th
Raw dawn sometimes
advanced considered
Marching Germans dark system.
... Prince in front of the Russian regiments
He turned the horse from the flight,
With steel-clad hands
Under the clouds angrily poked.
“Let God judge us with the Germans
Without delay here on the ice
We have swords with us, and come what may,
Let's help God's judgment!"
The prince galloped to the coastal rocks,
Climbing on them with difficulty,
He found a high ledge,
From where you can see everything around.
... And looked back. Somewhere behind
Between trees and stones
His regiments are in ambush,
Keeping horses on a leash.
And ahead, on ringing ice floes,
Thundering with heavy scales,
Livonians are riding in a formidable wedge -
Pig iron head.

2nd reader (child):
The first onslaught of the Germans was terrible.
In the Russian infantry corner,
Two rows of horse towers
They crashed through...
Already mixed people, horses,
Swords, axes, axes,
And the prince is still calm
Followed the battle from the mountain...
... And, only after waiting for the Livonians,
Having mixed ranks, they were drawn into battle,
He, blazing with a sword in the sun,
He led his squad.

3rd reader (teacher):
And the first on a huge horse
The prince got into the German system.
And, retreating before the prince,
Throwing spears and shields
The Germans fell from their horses to the ground,
Lifting iron fingers.
Under them the horses drowned,
Under them, the ice stood on end,
Their stirrups pulled to the bottom,
The shell did not let them swim ...
And the prince, barely cooled down from the landfill,
Already watched from under the arm
Like a pitiful remnant of fugitives
To Livonian lands was leaving.

Games are held: "Archers", "Cockfight", "Battle with the Serpent Gorynych".

Guslyar: The Russians won, drove the enemies far from their land.

And then our prince Alexander Nevsky said:

“Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword!”

Pictures of native nature appear on the projector. Choir "Glory" from the opera "Ivan Susanin" by M.I. Glinka. Adults and children are listening.

Our beloved home country!

Russia did not begin with a sword, It began with a scythe and a plow. Not because the blood is not hot, But because the Russian shoulder has never been touched by anger in her life ... And the battles that rang with arrows Only interrupted her eternal work. No wonder the horse of the mighty Ilya was saddled the master of the arable land.

Yes, but there was never a thirst for blood. stronger than war, How disinterestedness is more effective than a sting. The dawn rises, bright and hot. And it will be so forever indestructible.

introduction Leading to the music of Mussorgsky's "Gate to Kyiv".
Since ancient times, Russia has been famous for its heroes, strong, courageous people who love their native land, their homeland. Our country, huge, rich natural resources, animals and flora, washed by the seas and oceans for many centuries, was attacked by foreign conquerors. But all of them received a worthy rebuff, because they were met by courageous Russian warriors under the leadership of talented commanders. We will talk about one of them today. This is the ancient Russian prince Alexander Nevsky. April 5 marked the 775th anniversary of the Battle of the Ice, a glorious battle in which he led Russian army Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky.
ALEXANDER - in Greek means protector of people. This beautiful, courageous name was given to his second son by the Novgorod prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, known not only for his courage, but for his tough temper. And this son subsequently became famous, and became especially loved in Russia. And in our days both believers and non-believers deeply revere St. Prince Alexander Nevsky in Russia.
Already at the age of 15, Alexander accompanied his father on campaigns and participated in the battle. When Alexander was 18 years old, his father will instruct him to reign in Novgorod. He grew up, turned into a clever, strong boy who loved to read and wrote beautifully. In those days, reading was taught by Holy Scripture. Novgorodians admired their prince - handsome, tall, with a strong voice that thundered like a trumpet.
But terrible trials lay ahead of everyone.
The young prince faced the problem of the Tatars and another closer and more serious danger from the Swedes, Livonians and Lithuania. In 1237, the disparate forces of the Livonians - the Teutonic Order and the Swordsmen - united against the Russians.
And at this time, the Mongol hordes approached the Novgorod lands. With hope in the Wisdom of God, Prince Alexander prayed for protection in the church of St. Sophia, fortified the city and its borders, and the enemy did not invade.
Music sounds.

Karina At night, the Novgorod rati silently crossed Izhora and secretly approached the enemy camp. The scouts reported that the chilled Swedes were sleeping in tents, wrapping themselves in raincoats from the morning cold.
A damp wind was blowing from the direction of the Neva. The swampy shores were shrouded in dense gray fog. Sitting on a horse, one could hardly see the tip of one's own spear. But Alexander knew that soon it would be dawn, and the fog would gradually begin to dissipate.
Music is playing
Karina High valor adorned And heart true hero- In the midst of battles, he was menacingly terrible to enemies, Outside of battles, he was a joy.
Music is playing
For this victory, the prince was named Nevsky. He was only 20 years old!!!
But the trials for the young prince and his people continued. A new terrible danger loomed over Russia.
The bell ringing "Nabat" sounds. Darina and Gelya come out in black with a candle.
In the winter of 1242, a war began with the German knights, who proudly declared that they would "subjugate the entire Slavic people." The enemies wanted to destroy the Orthodox faith, to convert the Russian people to the Catholic faith. St. Alexander, having set out on a campaign, liberated Pskov, and in the spring of 1242 gave the Teutonic Order a decisive battle on Lake Peipsi.
On the eve of the battle, Saint Alexander again fervently asked God for help. Through his prayer, the help of God and the feat of arms of the Russian soldiers, the crusaders were completely defeated.
There was a terrible slaughter, there was a loud crack from breaking spears and swords. The ice of the lake could not be seen, for it was covered with blood.
Video
On April 5, 1242, this legendary battle took place. This battle is known as the Battle of the Ice. Before the battle, Prince Alexander ordered his warriors to remove their iron armor. With a cunning maneuver, the enemy was passed through the Russian barrier, the enemy warriors clad in iron were lured onto the ice. According to the Novgorod chronicle, the Russians drove the Germans across the ice for 7 miles, 500 knights fell and up to 50 were taken prisoner.
Fanfare
1263. Alexander Yaroslavovich is 43 years old. In small Gorodets, he took monastic vows under the name of Alexy and died a day later, on November 14.

Quietly the icon lamp in front of the image of the Savior burns ... Quietly the abbot stands before him in prayer. Quietly the boyars stand in the corners. Quietly and motionless lies his head to the images Prince Alexander, covered with a black schema ... Quietly the icon lamp in front of the image of the Savior burns ... The prince lies motionless. The wonderful face lit up with beauty. Quietly, the abbot approached him and with a trembling hand, felt his heart and forehead, and, sobbing, exclaimed: “Our sun has set!”
Music
Alexander worked hard for the Russian land. Courageously and victoriously he fought against Western enemies, prudently, cleverly protected his people from predatory Tatars. Many called him their "guardian angel". The Russian Church canonized him among the saints.
By order of Peter I, at the beginning of the 18th century, a Cathedral was built in St. Petersburg in the name of the Holy Trinity and St. Alexander Nevsky, where his relics were transferred.
In 1725, Empress Catherine 1 established an order in honor of the holy noble Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky, which was one of the highest awards until 1917.
During the Great Patriotic War in 1942, in recognition of the greatest merits of Prince Alexander, the Order of Alexander Nevsky was established. They were awarded to officers and generals Soviet army for personal courage and heroism, for skillfully carried out military operations, for the highest patriotism.
Streets, lanes, squares, etc. are named after Alexander Nevsky. Orthodox churches are dedicated to him. We sacredly remember the precepts of the great commander.
Video "Who will come with a sword ...
The famous expression of Alexander Nevsky “Whoever comes to us with a sword will die by the sword. The Russian land has stood and will stand on that” is not only a warning to all opponents and enemies of Russia, but also calls to live in peace and harmony, resolving all issues at the negotiating table, and not on the battlefields ”
Reading a poem by E. Asadov "Russia" to the music "I look into the blue lakes"
You are always so gullible, Russia, Which, really, just takes you dumbfounded. Since the time of Timur and Batu, evil forces have tormented you cunningly And rudely humiliated your people. Yes, Russia is always gullible. Everything is so. But how many times in history it happened, No matter how the enemy broke, no matter how tyrannical, She always, dispelling the darkness, Like a Phoenix bird, was reborn again! from grief and loss, Russia will not shatter into pieces! And the hour will strike, though soon, though not soon, When Russia will rise to its full height. But the clouds will scatter! And I know for sure: the truth is lit, My country will still appear to everyone And proud, and great, and mighty!

Asadov E. A. - "Russia did not begin with a sword"

Russia did not begin with a sword,
It started with a scythe and a plow.
Not because the blood is not hot,
But because the Russian shoulder
Never in my life has anger touched...

And arrows ringing battles
They only interrupted her usual work.
No wonder the horse of the mighty Elijah
Saddled was the master of the arable land.

In hands, cheerful only from labor,
Out of kindness sometimes not immediately
Retribution was rising. It's true.
But there was never a thirst for blood.

And if the hordes prevailed,
Forgive me, Russia, the troubles of sons.
Whenever the strife of the princes,
Then how the hordes would be given in the muzzle!

But only meanness rejoiced in vain.
Jokes with the hero are short-lived:
Yes, you can deceive the hero,
But to win - that's already pipes!

'Cause that would be just as funny
How, say, to fight with the sun and the moon.
That bail is Lake Peipus,
River Nepryadva and Borodino.

And if the darkness of the Teutons or Batu
Found the end in my homeland
That is the current proud Russia
A hundred times more beautiful and stronger!

And in the fight with the most fierce war
She has overcome hell.
That's the guarantee - hero cities
In the fireworks on a festive night!

And my country is always strong
That did not humiliate anyone anywhere.
'Cause kindness is stronger than war
How disinterestedness is more effective than sting.

The dawn is rising, bright and hot.
And it will be so forever indestructible.
Russia did not begin with a sword,
And that's why she's invincible!

ALEXANDER - in Greek means protector of people. This beautiful, courageous name was given to his second son by the Novgorod prince Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, known not only for his courage, but for his tough temper. And this son subsequently became famous, and became especially loved in Russia. And in our days both believers and non-believers deeply revere St. Prince Alexander Nevsky in Russia.

ALEXANDER was born in 1219 in Pereyaslavl (according to other sources, in 1220 in Novgorod) shortly before the terrible disaster - the Mongol-Tatar invasion of Russia. "It was so long ago in Kievan Rus. Grand Duke Yaroslav Vsevolodovich then reigned in Novgorod. Already with three years Alexander was excommunicated from his mother, Princess Theodosia, and given to the upbringing of princely soldiers. Alexander was only 6 years old when Saint Simon made him princely tonsure. Not before the games was the young prince in his youth. Already at the age of 15, Alexander accompanied his father on campaigns and participated in the battle. When Alexander was 18 years old, his father will instruct him to reign in Novgorod. He grew up, turned into a clever, strong boy who loved to read and wrote beautifully. In those days, reading was taught from the Holy Scriptures. Alexander loved the word of God and learned it well. The commandments of Christ penetrated deep into the heart of the boy.

13th century...

He was young and handsome
With all my heart I loved my Russia,
The rumor was worn: "Born by God",
He was a great, wise prince!

They tormented Russia from the east of the horde,
Mongols are mad dogs
All under the agony of shame,
They swept away on their way.

Having plundered Russia to the very thread,
They carried convoys of good,
Batu - to his insatiable camp,
Furs and gold, silver.

Russia from the horde was losing strength,
I barely lost my freedom
The horde mowed it down again,
I'll crack down on the vile clerk.

Having defeated the formidable Swedes in Izhora,
In my twenties,
Where he won victory with courage,
How again Russia is shaking from troubles!

Let the experience is still "not thick",
Only twenty-two passed,
He became a skilled commander,
He took military affairs into account.

With the father more than once in severe battles,
Steel will tempered
He was given to be born
Decorate the military pedestal.

Already in 1228, young Alexander began to reign in Novgorod with his older brother Fedor under the supervision of the boyars.

“And then there was a terrible famine in the Novgorod land. People died, destruction was everywhere. Seeing the suffering of people, Alexander experienced together with the people of Novgorod. This is what the chronicle says about him: “Not being seduced by wealth, he judges orphans and widows in truth, he is merciful, kind ... God helps such people, for God does not love angels, but people, in his generosity generously endows and shows his mercy in the world. Novgorodians admired their prince - handsome, tall, with a strong voice that thundered like a trumpet

But terrible trials lay ahead of everyone.

And at this time, the Mongol hordes approached the Novgorod lands. With hope in the Wisdom of God, Prince Alexander prayed for protection in the church of St. Sophia, fortified the city and its borders, and the enemy did not invade.

“Once the Swedish king sent messengers to Novgorod with an appeal to the prince: “If you can, defend yourself, for I am already here and ruining your land.” Alexander prayed long and hard in the temple, uttering these words: “Glorious God, you commanded to live without transgressing other people's borders. Judge, Lord, those who offend me and protect them from those who fight with me.” The prince came out of the church, dried his tears, and Alexander encouraged his squad with the words: “God is not in power, but in truth. Others - with weapons, others - on horseback, but we will call on the Name of the Lord our God! They staggered and fell, but we rose up and stood firm.”

At night, the Novgorod rati silently crossed Izhora and secretly approached the enemy camp. The scouts reported that the chilled Swedes were sleeping in tents, wrapping themselves in raincoats from the morning cold.

A damp wind was blowing from the direction of the Neva. The swampy shores were shrouded in dense gray fog. Sitting on a horse, one could hardly see the tip of one's own spear. But Alexander knew that soon it would be dawn, and the fog would gradually begin to dissipate.

Having built his small army, which the allied Ladoga residents joined along the way, Alexander turned to him:

Alexander Nevskiy"

If robbers break into your house and begin to scold your father's gray hair, humiliate your wife, capture children, trample on Orthodox icons, will you count how many there are? Dozen? Two dozen? Or throw yourself at the enemy and fight?

The squad roared indignantly.

Finally, the mist began to dissipate and a red circle of the sun peeped through it. Alexander crossed himself and put on his helmet.

Alexander Nevskiy:

May the holy martyrs Boris and Gleb help us! With God, brothers, together we will strike at the enemy! he shouted loudly.

The mighty voice of Yaroslavich resounded far over the restless waters of the Neva, over the sleeping Swedish camp. Having whipped a stagnant stallion, putting forward a spear, Prince Alexander was the first to break into the enemy camp. Behind him, not lagging behind, galloped his faithful squad.

Alexander Nevskiy

Let's stand brothers for Russia! For Novgorod! For our mothers, for our children! "God is not in power, but in truth"

In less than a minute, a fierce battle was already in full swing in the Swedish camp. The Russian knights fought without sparing their belly: they stabbed, chopped, rushed from their horses hand-to-hand, knocking down the knights jumping out of the tents. And the great commander Alexander Yaroslavovich led them into battle

Russian knights showed miracles of valor. “Nothing is more unpleasant and undesirable for people than freedom. ... All freedom is revered more than any treasure of this world. Neither wealth, nor honor, nor sweet food is pleasant to us, as we have no freedom. But the miracles of God were also revealed, because the enemies were killed where the soldiers of Prince Alexander could not get.

Approaches the stand with the book "The Life of Alexander Nevsky"

"The Life of the Blessed Alexander Nevsky" reports the following fact. On the eve of the battle with the Swedes, Alexander posted a patrol, ordering his soldiers to rest before the battle. One of the sentinels was a local native Pelgusy. He brought wonderful news to the prince. Before dawn on July 12, 1240, Pelgusius noticed a boat floating along the river, and in it the holy princes Boris and Gleb stood in scarlet cloaks. ... Pelgusius managed to hear the words of strangers: “Let's hasten to help our relative Alexander Yaroslavich.” When Pelgusius told Alexander about his vision, then, as the Life reports, "the heart of the young prince Alexander beat joyfully."

In the winter of 1242, a war began with the German knights, who proudly declared that they would "subjugate the entire Slavic people." The enemies wanted to destroy the Orthodox faith, to convert the Russian people to the Catholic faith. St. Alexander, having set out on a campaign, liberated Pskov, and in the spring of 1242 gave the Teutonic Order a decisive battle on Lake Peipsi.

He found a high ledge

From where you can see everything around.

Prince in front of the Russian regiments
He turned the horse around,
With steel-clad hands
Under the clouds angrily poked.

Without delay here on the ice
We have swords with us, and come what may,
Let's help God's judgment!"

Among the German cones
Flashing white shirts
Men's lamb hats.

Throwing sheepskin coats on the ground,
They rushed into mortal combat,

And when you have to die

It's better to have a clean shirt

Dirty with your own blood.

They are open-eyed
They marched against the Germans with their bare chest,
Cutting fingers to the bone
Bowed spears to the ground.

And where the spears bent down,

They are in desperate slaughter

They cut through the German system

Shoulder to shoulder, back to back.

On April 5, 1242, this legendary battle took place. This battle is known as the Battle of the Ice. Before the battle, Prince Alexander ordered his warriors to remove their iron armor. With a cunning maneuver (the enemy was passed through the Russian barrier), the enemy soldiers clad in iron were lured onto the ice. According to the Novgorod chronicle, the Russians drove the Germans across the ice for 7 miles, 400-500 knights fell and up to 50 were taken prisoner;

“But the most difficult were not military affairs. The heavy burden of responsibility for the Motherland and the Russian people lay on the shoulders of the prince. At that time, Russia did not have enough strength to fight the evil enemy - the hordes of Batu Khan, who conquered the entire Russian land, flooding it with the blood of Christians.

Khan Batu reached a rumor about the great Novgorod prince and his victories. And Batu sent messengers with the following message: “God has subjugated many nations to me, are you the only one who doesn’t want to submit? If you want to save your land, come to bow." Not all of the Russian princes agreed to fulfill the humiliating requirements for a Christian - to worship pagan idols and paid for their disobedience with their lives. But the prince never lost firmness in the Orthodox faith. Entering the tent to the khan, he bowed to him and said: “King, I will bow to you, because God honored you with the kingdom. And I will not bow down to a creature (idol) created for the sake of man. Releasing the prince, Batu said: "They told me the truth that there is no prince like this."

“So Prince Alexander overcame his pride and bowed to the Mongol Khan, in the name of saving his people. This is how wisdom and Christian humility made it possible to save Russian lands from complete ruin

But military campaigns, the struggle with the princes for power, exhausting trips to the Horde and negotiations with the khans undermined his health.

In a small Gorodets, he took monastic vows under the name of Alexis and a day later, on November 14, 1263, he died.

Metropolitan Kirill announced to the people in Vladimir about his death with the words: "My dear child, understand that the sun of the Russian land is coming," and everyone exclaimed with tears: "We are already perishing."

Among the difficult princely affairs, the pious prince did not forget his Christian duties: he transferred a lot of silver and gold to the Horde, ransomed many unfortunate people from the heavy captivity of the Tatars.

Fatherland is a sacred concept, because, according to believers, it was granted to every nation by the Heavenly Father, from whom the Fatherland is called. Therefore, its protection, the protection of the gift of God, is the sacred duty of every citizen.

Prince Alexander Nevsky was an Orthodox man and invincible in open battle; on the battlefield, the commander had to win the highest victory - over himself, to show the rarest and most difficult virtue: humble himself with boundless humility, drown out the voice of pride and defend the Motherland. He will bow to Batu solely in the interests of his beloved Motherland, and in this the author sees the highest feat of the right-believing Prince Alexander Nevsky. Humility leads to the comprehension of the truth, to the understanding of what needs to be done at the moment for the good of the Motherland.

Introduction

In recent decades, Russia has been returning to its history, its past, in the primordial traditions of folk life, looking for answers to the most disturbing questions of our time. Historical memory again and again turns us to ideals Ancient Russia, its great saints and warriors.

The personality of the Holy Blessed Grand Duke Alexander Yaroslavovich Nevsky has always been honored in Russia. At all times he was a model of wisdom, holiness and faithful service to the Fatherland.

It is on the example of the exploits and life of the Holy Prince Alexander that it is possible to most easily explain to modern young people the meaning of enduring values. According to the lessons of history, Alexander Nevsky is known more as an outstanding commander, statesman and least of all as a saint. The purpose of the musical and literary evening is to show the image of Nevsky as it was known and perceived by contemporaries, to answer the question of why he was canonized as a saint, how war and holiness are compatible.

A literary and musical evening dedicated to the life and feat of arms of Alexander Nevsky can be held with students of secondary schools, cadet classes, vocational schools, students of military patriotic clubs, etc. It is advisable to time the evening to coincide with the Memorial Day of Prince Alexander Yaroslavovich Nevsky, which is celebrated on December 6th. By making minor adjustments to the script, you can also use it for the Day of Military Glory of Russia - the Day of the victory of Russian soldiers of Prince Alexander Nevsky over the German knights on Lake Peipus (Battle on the Ice, 1242), which is celebrated on April 18, on the birthday of Prince Alexander Nevsky (he born May 30, 1220).

According to tradition, when Alexander was 4 years old, a solemn rite of tonsure was performed - the initiation of the prince into warriors. After the ceremony, the father took his son out of the temple and for the first time put him on war horse. Before this, the prince was girded with a light short sword. Four-year-old Alexander was given a light bow with arrows, which indicated the duty of a warrior to defend his native land from all kinds of external enemies. From that time on, the prince had every right to lead the princely Pereyaslav squad, of course, with the help of a close and experienced boyar-voivode.

But under the parental roof, Alexander did not grow up for long. Very early he had to experience all the hardships of the adult life of the prince in free Novgorod.

Yes, now we sleep in troubles, we hide behind troubles. Yes, all the will of God. More than one misfortune was warded off with swords.

boyar 1:

Yes, there is a black cloud. The Germans have already captured Pskov-grad. And that is only the beginning of the swing of the infidels on the Neva and Ladoga. They want to put Russia on constipation, and then completely captivate the Slavs.

boyar 2:

God is merciful. Prince Alexander Yaroslavovich does not remember the old grievance.

Chimes, Alexander Nevsky enters with combatants.
Alexander Nevskiy :

Bow to you, Lord Veliky Novgorod! Enemies float on the Neva.

We are all ready to lay down our heads for Russia.
warrior 1:

For the Orthodox faith!

warrior 2:

For Veliky Novgorod!

warrior 3:

For Hagia Sophia!

Alexander Nevskiy :

The dead have no shame. Or our eyes have been taken away, like the blind, we do not see the obvious. We make strife among ourselves in such a difficult hour. Not about the distant Novgorod borders, but about the protection of their homes.

warriors :

Oh, our glorious prince! Now the time has come for us to lay down our heads for you.

Alexander Nevskiy :

Judge me, O God, judge my quarrel with the unrighteous people and help me, Lord, as he helped our great-grandfather Yaroslav defeat the accursed Svyatopolk. There are not many of us, but the enemy is strong. But let's stand strong. No one is looking back. Whoever does not die will live!

An excerpt from S. Prokofiev's cantata "Alexander Nevsky", part 3 - "The Crusaders in Pskov" sounds. The actors leave.
reader 17 :

The prince galloped to the coastal rocks,

Climbing on them with difficulty

He found a high ledge,

From where you can see everything around.

And only after waiting for the Livonians,

Having mixed ranks, they were drawn into battle,

The prince flashed his sword in the sun,

He led his squad.
reader 18:

Raising swords of Russian steel,

Bending the spear shafts,

The Novogorodsk regiments flew out of the forest with a cry.

They flew with a clang, with thunder,

Leaning towards the tails and manes.

And the first on a huge horse

The prince got into the German system.

Voice recording against the background of music by S. Prokofiev "Alexander Nevsky", part 5, "Battle on the Ice".
reader 19:

And there was a fierce slash, and there was a crash from breaking spears and a ringing from the blows of swords. And it seemed that the frozen lake moved, and no ice was visible, for it was covered with blood. And so Alexander defeated the enemies with the help of God, and they turned to flight. Alexander cut them down, driving them as if through the air, and there was nowhere for them to hide. And Alexander returned with a glorious victory.

Enter Alexander Nevsky with combatants. An excerpt from S. Prokofiev's cantata "Alexander Nevsky", part 2 - "Song of Alexander Nevsky" sounds.
Alexander Nevskiy:

Wait a minute to frighten us with remarkable force,

Fate has commanded us to protect our land!

Do not go to Russia, do not go!

Let him stay at his feet -

Earthly justice sword!

They leave.

reader 20:

This victory for a long time protected Russia from the German conquerors. The fame of Alexander Nevsky began to spread throughout all countries. But Prince Alexander clearly realized that to preserve the inviolability of the northwestern border of Russia, and also to leave open exit to the Baltic Sea, it was possible only if peaceful relations with the Golden Horde were maintained.

Further up to the words “In 1380…” the text is read against the background of music from “Requiem” by V.A. Mozart part 1.
reader 21:

And then came the hardest thing - to become a hostage. To be responsible for everything that will be on Russian soil. Prince Alexander fully drank the bitter cup of humiliation, visiting the Horde four times. This humiliation was a great feat. He, a heroic commander who participated in more than twenty battles in his life, never defeated in battle, humbled himself before the Horde. Prince Alexander understood that fragmented and bloodless Russia could not fight with terrible force, and in order to enable Russia to recover, to grow stronger, time is needed, peace with the East is needed.

leading:

All the forces and life of Alexander Nevsky were given to the service of the Russian people. Returning from his fourth trip to the Horde, he fell mortally ill, having reached the Gorodetsky monastery along the Volga, and stopped there. On the night of November 14, 1263, he cut his hair as a monk with the name Alexy, taking a large monastic rank - schema. This was the crowning achievement of his constant service to God. That same night he died.

reader 22:

They buried him in the Nativity Monastery. A multitude of people gathered to see off their glorious protector on his last journey.

Further to the end - reading the text against the background of the bell ringing.
reader 23:

In 1380, the Novgorodians canonized Alexander among their locally revered saints, and in the 16th century, by decision of a church council, he became revered by the entire Orthodox world.

reader 24:

The good memory of descendants presents Alexander as great. The glory of St. Alexander Nevsky is so great that icon painters and painters from century to century create the image of a mighty warrior with perfect features.

reader 25:

The name of the Saint given to him is much more expressive than the Great, for the Great is called for wisdom and courage. Alexander, with his virtues, was able to alleviate the cruel fate of Russia.

monk:

Decorated with high valor

And a true hero at heart -

Enemies in the midst of the battle are menacingly scary,

Outside of battles, the saint was a joy.

Always in a strict sense of duty,

He honored the truth with all his heart.

And shared the feelings of the heart

Between Motherland and God.
